Is Linktown Residences the same as the Hougang Central GLS site?

Yes. Linktown Residences, also written as Linktown Residence, is the residential part of the Hougang Avenue 10 / Hougang Central Government Land Sales (GLS) site, which the government awarded on 14 January 2026. Buyers may also see it called the Hougang Central integrated development or the Hougang Central condo.

Highlights

What Makes Linktown Residences Stand Out?

Linktown Residence has four advantages that other Hougang condos do not share. It is also the first new private launch in Hougang since The Florence Residences in 2019.

01

Homes built with Hougang MRT and the bus interchange

The homes are built together with Hougang MRT station (NE14) and a rebuilt Hougang bus interchange. HDB's tender conditions require the bus interchange to be at least 6,500 sqm, and the station and interchange will form one Integrated Transport Hub.

02

A two-line MRT interchange by 2030

When Cross Island Line Phase 1 opens, which LTA expects by 2030, Hougang becomes an interchange (NE14 and CR8). Ang Mo Kio and Pasir Ris will each be 3 stops away on the new line.

03

Hougang's largest mall on site

CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) will build and own a mall of about 300,000 sq ft net lettable area, which CapitaLand says will be the largest mall in Hougang. The site also includes a town plaza with a sheltered event space.

04

Five primary schools within 1 km

Montfort Junior School is about 270 m away. CHIJ Our Lady of the Nativity, Holy Innocents' Primary School, Punggol Primary School and Yio Chu Kang Primary School are all within 1 km.

About the project

Who is developing Linktown Residence?

Linktown Residence is developed by CapitaLand Development (50%), UOL Group (40%) and Kheng Leong (10%). At the award in January 2026, the joint venture was 50:50 between CapitaLand Development and UOL, and UOL's August 2026 update lists Kheng Leong as a partner.

CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) owns 100% of the mall. CICT will develop the mall of about 300,000 sq ft, which CapitaLand says will be the largest mall in Hougang.

UOL and CapitaLand Development also built Parktown Residence in Tampines, which sits above a bus interchange too.

One site, four parts

What else is built with Linktown Residence?

The Hougang Central site combines about 830 homes, a new Hougang bus interchange, a mall of about 300,000 sq ft and a town plaza with a sheltered event space, all connected to Hougang MRT station.

Investment

Is Linktown Residence a good investment?

Linktown Residence has three advantages. First, it is built together with Hougang MRT station and a new bus interchange. Second, Hougang becomes a two-line interchange when the Cross Island Line opens, which LTA expects by 2030. Third, it is the first new private launch in Hougang since The Florence Residences (1,410 units) in 2019.

The same developers sold 87% of Parktown Residence, another bus interchange project, on its launch weekend in February 2025, at an average of $2,360 psf.

Expect higher prices than older Hougang condos, because the land cost $1,179 psf ppr, compared with $885 psf ppr for the Parktown Residence site.

Price guide

What is the expected price of Linktown Residence?

The developer will release official prices at launch. Analysts quoted by EdgeProp expect an average of about $2,500 to $2,600 psf. The table below applies that range to example unit sizes. The land price explains why.

Example prices at $2,500–$2,600 psf (estimate)
Unit typeExample sizeExample price (estimate)
2-Bedroom700 sq ft$1.75M – $1.82M
